Trailing by five goals at half time, Fever came to play in the second half, lifting in the key moments to secure a four-goal victory, their 11th in a row over the Lightning.
Scores were level with four minutes to play and from there Fever scored six goals to one Lightning supershot to seal the win.
The win capped off Dan Ryan’s 100th National League Game, becoming the fifth coach to reach the milestone during the SSN era.
Zoe Cransberg went head-to-head with Liz Watson and came off the court as the Player of the Match, courtesy of 14 goal assists, four pick-ups and a deflection.
The game started in contested fashion as both teams tried to find an advantage. Fever defenders Fran Williams and Kadie-Ann Dehaney led the way for Fever as they went into the first change with a one-goal lead.
The second quarter began as a shootout before the Lightning took control during the Power Five.
Fever led by one goal at the start of the supershot period and despite a supershot from Sasha Glasgow, Lightning were able to win ball to score the final four goals and an on-the-buzzer supershot to lead by five at the main change.
The goal-for-goal battle resumed to start the second half until Fever found a new gear.
The visitors went on a five-goal run to level the scores just before the Power Five, off the back of great defensive wins from Ruth Aryang, Williams and Dehaney.
Fever won the third quarter strongly, scoring 10 of the last 13 goals to take a two-goal lead into the final quarter.
Fever now host Friday Night Netty when the Adelaide Thunderbirds travel to Perth. Centre Pass at 6pm WST.
